Those are real pretty. Nice work. Although in this neck of the woods you would never find them with that occasional miss:roll:

KME, but then I’m just walking out the back door to hunt. If I had to travel guess I would explore some touch up methods. But those tuffheads really hold the edge.

Ha the F-100 Thunderbird ages you.:D Retired out of Eielson–you likely supported one or two of our ops way back then. Pm me at herdering@earthlink.net and we will see.

Back on thread–as Dave said chapter two eagerly awaited, when you link body and mind as you do, it becomes a true pleasure to shoot the long bow.

That’s some of the best “long distance” coaching I have read. Bravo. But I’m thinking that if Steve visited Ausjim for a bit and practiced the bucket thing–perhaps his arm would untwist.:lol:

Seriously, your insightful responses are a pleasure to read.

Thanks for the time and effort.

Steve’s reference to shoulder roll concerns posture not shooting the bow. The book and video link I posted has to do with those of us who experience back pain and choose to pass on the surgery solution. And it’s about as traditional as it can get.:D

One good book (with pictures) recommendation deserves a like response. “8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back”, Esther Gokhale.

Check out her video’s on u-tube. And it works–been pain free for almost 3 months:D

Trust it will help.

Well said! Ordered the book yesterday. Steve did say it has lots of pictures–always a good thing for an old Marine:D

Isn’t it a treat when you can put a face to the name. Bought time, I think for Trad Bow to host a shoot for all of us.

What say you Mom?:D Something mid Continent so travel is equal.

Last thought–for those I have met–not one I wouldn’t want to share a campfire with. What a tribe we have:lol:

Well I am just amazed that nobody has commented on those gasoline soaked rags that we tied on and shot skyward (after a touch of the cig). Fun time–how did we all escape jail?

Well that whole situation kinda sucks. And don’t get me wrong

if gps is needed then use it. But I gotta tell you that map and compass skills are built by constant use (just like shooting our preferred weapon) so don’t give up on that. Just like trad bow–learning the skills bring their own reward.:D

in reply to: Backcounty College – optics for close quarters hunting #17940

I never hunt, hike, or just take a walk without my Binoculars. Vortex 8×28 for regular use, Bausch&Lomb 8×42 for real birding. I replace the strap on the vortex with para chord and use one of them spring loaded keepers to adjust. They hang so that my hand can move them directly to the eyes with minimum movement. And they don’t interfere with drawing the bow.

As pothunter said money spent on good optics is an investment.:shock:

Clay–another great video.
